Retinitis pigmentosa 18(RP18)

MedGen UID:
371314
Concept ID:
C1832378
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: PRPF 3-Related Retinitis Pigmentosa; RP 18; RP18
 
Gene (location): PRPF3 (1q21.2)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0011075
OMIM®: 601414

Definition

Any retinitis pigmentosa in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the PRPF3 gene. [from MONDO]

Clinical features

From HPO
Retinal arteriolar constriction
MedGen UID:
853673
Concept ID:
C2176208
Finding
Decreased retinal arteriolar diameters, which may decrease blood flow and slow oxygen delivery to regions of the retina.
Night blindness
MedGen UID:
10349
Concept ID:
C0028077
Disease or Syndrome
Inability to see well at night or in poor light.
Scotoma
MedGen UID:
19902
Concept ID:
C0036454
Finding
A regional and pathological increase of the light detection threshold in any region of the visual field surrounded by a field of normal or relatively well-preserved vision.
Progressive visual field defects
MedGen UID:
870317
Concept ID:
C4024760
Finding
Rod-cone dystrophy
MedGen UID:
1632921
Concept ID:
C4551714
Disease or Syndrome
An inherited retinal disease subtype in which the rod photoreceptors appear to be more severely affected than the cone photoreceptors. Typical presentation is with nyctalopia (due to rod dysfunction) followed by loss of mid-peripheral field of vision, which gradually extends and leaves many patients with a small central island of vision due to the preservation of macular cones.
